Being born of a celebrity parent can be a blessing and advantage to some people, however, Julian Broadus couldn’t relate. He is one of the children of famous hip hop star, Snopp Dogg but he doesn’t seem like he fancied this fact.
The circumstances under which he was conceived and born do not quite help his stance. However, he has been recognized as the son of the rap artist and has since then, become a person of interest.
Just like the rest of the Broadus kids, the life of Julian, to an extent, has been revealed. Apart from sharing a bit of facial semblance with his father, he also shares something unarguably unique with Snoop Dogg.
Is Julian Broadus also a Rapper?
Snoop Dogg’s son has a couple of interests and he has had them from his childhood, according to reports. However, sharing an interest in rap with his father isn’t one of them. Julian has an interest in music nonetheless, but just not in the rap genre.
He has admitted to having a passion for music, he even admitted to having dropped a couple of songs on music platforms but took them down after a while. The reason the young man gave for doing that is that he realized he wasn’t ready to put out the music as he still needed a lot of work to be done to them.
Julian Broadus is more inclined toward the R&B and Pop genres of music than he is toward hip-hop. In line with this, he works at producing soft songs, unlike the hard-like rap songs his father is known for.
He reportedly chose a different path for his music because he wanted to be an independent individual. Julian did not want to live under the shadows of his father nor does he want to garner support due to Snoop’s influence.
